Abstract

It is evident that every one ton of cement manufacture releaseshalf ton of carbon dioxide, so there is an
immediate need to control the usage of cement. On the hand,materials wastes such as sugarcane bagasse ash, which are
difficult to dispose which in return is an environmental Hazard. The bagasse ash imparts high early strength to concrete
and also reduce the permeability of concrete. The Silica present in the bagasse ash reacts with components of cement
during hydration and imparts additional properties such as chloride resistance, corrosion resistance etc. The sugarcane
bagasse ash attributedwiththe sugar industry waste product is causing serious environmental pollution. The use of
bagasse ash in concrete reduces environmental pollution to some extent and may enhance the properties of concrete.In
this study, an attempt has been made to study the impact of bagasse ash by partially replacing the cement at various
proportions (i.e.0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% w/w)and to study the compressive strength of concrete at mix ratio of M20.
At the end of 7th, 14th, 28th days, the properties like slump cone test for fresh concrete and compressive strength for
hardened concrete were verified and results were analysed. The core strength of the concrete fabricatedusing bagasse
ash were compared with ordinary concrete. It revealed replacement of 15% of cement by means of sugarcane bagasse
ash is satisfactory
